Once in the body, CBD interacts with the so-called cannabinoid receptors. These receptors are found in large numbers in the cells of the nervous system, in the brain and internal organs, and make up the most complex endocannabinoid system. This system is responsible for homeostasis - that is, for the body's ability to maintain internal balance under the influence of external factors.
By interacting with the endocannabinoid system, CBD performs the same job as the natural cannabinoids produced by the body. On top of that, CBD stimulates the production of our natural cannabinoids. CBD increases the permeability of nerve impulses, stimulates the immune system, inhibits inflammation, has a general calming effect on the psyche, and much more.
In addition to cannabinoid receptors, CBD also acts on opioid, dopamine and serotonin receptors, which opens up new prospects for the use of this substance in medicine and psychiatry. Scientific research every year finds new ways to use CBD.
